Here’s my side room rack. Used to have a CDX where the PS4 presently sits

Many years ago, I had my PlayStation rigged up through the audio system , when Lara Croft got out the Uzis they came through loud and very clear

The little CB 42-5 box of magic continues to weave its spell, majoring in involvement at the expense of some fidelity at the frequency extremes. There’s a load of stuff I should be doing, but when the music is this good …

Looks great Mr Tibbs, I think the 42.5 is probably Naims best looking pre.

Here is my contribution to System Pics 2020.

The system consist on ND555/552DR/500DR and Magico S3 MkII speakers.

The little chair is for my young daughter

I consider the room treatment as part of the system.
I posted the details on a different thread, and these pictures as well.

I love that colour scheme, @Thomas . So different to the usual.

Mr.Tibbs · January 26, 2020, 2:29pm

Thanks HiFiman, yes, the 42-5 is off the scale cool

Can anyone else see the face behind the curtain to the side?

Here’s my contribution to the 2020 system pics and my first post. My system is a Roksan Xerxes X, Tabrizi, Audio Technica ART9/NDS/XPS2/52/SC/250/SBLs. The oldest surviving piece are the platters from my original black Xerxes, which I originally went half’s with, with an old friend and then flatmate. We were spinning these platters in c.1988 with a NAC 42.5/NAP 110/Epos es14s. The platters were the only components retained in an upgrade offered by Roksan to the Xerxes X, which by this stage were all mine! My most recent piece are my '95 mk2 SBLs which have just replaced my '87 SBLs. It sounds wonderful to me and I spend far too many hours locked away from my family in front of it!

Nice. Around then I was playing music on Xerxes/RB300/K9 into 62/140 into ES14s, fantastic system.
That looks lovely now, thanks for the pics. Nice to see Roksan decks in the forum. Oh, and welcome.

No upgrade to speak of! Less toys and more colouring pens if that counts? A dining table now dominates, that is only used for colouring. I guess when uni comes along I might get my room back…
